> Sure, take a look at Bahamas or Seychelles, "rich" black countries almost as high GDP per capita as some of the nordic nations. Still with infant mortality in the relative shitter.

The Seychelles Gini coefficient is higher than Sweden. There doesn’t seem to be data on the Bahamas.

Not by much. 0.32 vs 0.30 by this estimate

Weird, I was using Wikipedia which gave “medium inequality”.

Gini coeff is bullshit anyway. Just look at who's topmost at income equality (Ukraine) and also at the bottom of the list for wealth inequality. This makes no sense as a practical indicator. Especially for the racist take the other poster is making.

Having mostly flat income inequality can mean either of those -- everybody is rich and paying taxes and people with money are tax evading really good, so poor don't have access to healthcare.

Then again, just because country has allocated money for healthcare, the outcome depends on how many sick/old/poor people need it and how well it's used up, because corruption exists and isn't reflected in Gini coeff.

Interesting. Something for me to look into. Thanks!
